Anyone running 225/45/17's?
3 nails, one sidewall tear and almost 20,000 miles later, it's time to replace the stock Michelins.
Anyone running 225/45/17's? Got pics?
I'm thinking of some Dunlop SP Sport FM901's... any comments on those would be appreciated as well. (I'm also open to other suggestions -- if discounttiredirect.com carries them that'd be a big plus!)

Got Dunlop SP9000 225/45/17. The overall diameter is a little smaller than stock. I think 1/2 inch. If you haven't lowered your car yet you will want to afterwards. 1/2 inch doesn't sound like much but the wheel gap was ugly after that.
Pics. They're CLS rims.

225 will not fit on your stock 6.5" wide Type S rims.
